Academy today
The
Academy's supreme body is the Assembly of all of its members. The
Assembly is in charge of passing the statutory regulations regarding
the organisation and general activities of the Academy such as its
Statute, Financial Plan, the establishment of departments and
scientific, scholarly and artistic units, etc.
The
Assembly elects the President, Vice-President and Secretary of the
Academy as well as a number of
members of the Presidency.
It
also elects full, foreign and
honorary members of the Academy.
The election of
members takes place every three years by a majority vote in secret
ballot of the Academy's full members. The members are independent in
their scientific and scholarly research and artistic work and are
elected for life.
The
organisational structure of the Academy includes the Presidency,
five departments, five research centres, two technical units and the
Academy's Secretariat.
